ABOUT WIRED
WIRED is where tomorrow is realized.

Each year, around two million women are released from prisons and jails in the US, many with nowhere to go. Susan Burton knows this firsthand: after cycling in and out of prison for years, she finally found a safe place to land … and made it her mission to offer others the same. She shares how she’s helping thousands rebuild their lives — and changing the way we think about second chances. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 15, 2026)
